Qiao's family.

Qiao Yixi sat in the rocking chair and took two sips of the honey tea in her hand.

The sun in early spring was warm, and he soon felt sleepy when he shone on his body, and with his eyes half-closed, Qiao Lixi thought about his next plan.

On the side of the Chamber of Commerce, the list of candidates for the president has been reported, and she is naturally among them, this is the most normal result, there is no Sun family to interfere with it, Qiao Xingbang, as the vice president, is naturally the most qualified, he is not there, and her daughter is nothing to run for him.

As for the other opponents, Qiao Yixi thinks that the most threatening is Wang Qi, who is also the vice president, Wang Min's father.

Wang Qi and Qiao Xingbang's influence in the Chamber of Commerce is evenly matched, and I have to say that Old Man Zhang knows how to balance very well, and the power assigned to the two assistants is half and half, which can not only stimulate ambition, but also prevent problems before they happen. For so many years, Qiao Xingbang and Wang Qi have been evenly matched, and the cronies of both sides coincidentally split the members of the Chamber of Commerce in half.

The most interesting thing is that the Ma family is the right-hand man of the Qiao family, and the Sun family is the loyal horse boy of the Wang family, which is also the confidence of Mrs. Sun to threaten Qiao Yixi at the beginning.

As for the other candidates, in Qiao Lixi's opinion, they are just making up the numbers, since they are running openly, they naturally have to get a few more candidates, so that they can be down-to-earth.

"Little Miss," Mama Shen's words interrupted Qiao Lixi's reverie, "The letter to the lord and the lady has been brought over, and the lord and the lady are all fine over there, and the things they brought back have been put into the treasury of the East Courtyard." ”

Speaking of this, Mama Shen couldn't stop laughing.

Those things are all local specialties that the lord and the young lady found, and they are really not worth much silver, the old lady Qiao and the lady of the few rooms have a sassy look, undisguised greed, and they lose their identities when they think about it.

also boasts of being the first family of merchants in Jincheng, even if they know a little bit of etiquette, righteousness and shame, they will not be so out of shape.

However, more reassuring is still to come.

The little lady put the things directly into the warehouse of the east courtyard in front of everyone.

She could see it really.

Mrs. Qiao wanted to stop the little lady several times, and wanted to suppress the little miss with filial piety.

The little lady pretended to be stupid, and Mrs. Qiao was not easy to pick out, and finally her face turned purple with anger.

Just think about it!

"What's going on over there......"

Speaking of business, Mama Shen's expression was grim, "The pit has been dug, and the people have already jumped into it halfway, and the old slave has let people keep an eye on it, so that they will not miss a big event." It's Angelica's ......."

"It's a nuisance, indeed." Qiao Yixi said.

Mama Shen nodded, "According to the old slave's temperament, the most direct way is the simplest, but in this case, ......"

"Well, I'll think again." Qiao Lixi didn't make up her mind either.

It's just that before she could choose the best method, Astragalus took a post with a strange expression.

"What's that?" Qiao Yixi asked casually.

"Miss Hui, it was sent by Gu Gongzi."

"Gu Gongzi? Who is it? Qiao Yixi didn't react for a while.

"Miss Hui, it's Gu Sheng Gu Gongzi, he sent someone to send something over, this is the list. Miss and Miss Three have it, but I don't know if Miss Three's things are the same as Miss. ”

Black sleeve?

Which one is this singing?

Qiao Lixi didn't think that her relationship with the black jacket was good enough to give gifts to each other.

"Miss, these things ......" Huang Qi looked at Qiao Yixi hesitantly.

"It's counted, put it down, no, it's all sent to the old lady's yard."

"Miss......" Astragalus pouted, "These things are always valuable, why are they cheap to the people in the middle court?" ”

Mama Shen glared at her, and Astragalus retracted a little, but she still muttered unwillingly: "Miss, the slave maid just thinks that those things are cheaper, and they can't be cheaper than people in other rooms." If the young lady thinks that it is appropriate, she can put things wherever she wants, and when she needs to, she can take them out and give gifts, so why bother ......"

Honor the old lady.

These words, Astragalus didn't dare to say it, didn't that instigate Miss to be unfilial?

Qiao Lixi said funny: "You don't like to see people in other rooms." ”

"Miss, the slaves and maids just can't get used to it, using the silver of our long house, eating the things on Mrs. Zhuangzi, and still standing tall in front of us, as if they used us and ate us, as if they were so kind to us."

Although he has been trained by Mama Shen and knows what to say and what not to say, he has been oppressed for so long, and the long house finally stood up, and the complaints in his heart were not unhappy, and Astragalus simply said it all.

"Okay, I know, you go and count the things, well, put them in the warehouse of the East Courtyard, when Miss Ben is happy, I will reward you with a few gadgets."

"Thank you, Miss." The master accepted his offer, and Astragalus left happily.

At dinner, Mrs. Qiao called everyone to the middle courtyard for the first time.

The people in the courtyard had arrived, divided into two tables, and had a joyful dinner, after which the men went about their own journey, leaving a few daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

Qiao Lixi drank the diet tea comfortably.

This is the filial piety of the three rooms, and it is the taste that the old witch likes.

"Jojo." Qiao Jinwen couldn't hold it back at first.

I'm waiting for you.

Qiao Lixi looked over.

"Gu Gongzi brought you something?" teasing her eyes, I didn't know, I thought she was making fun of some ambiguity between Qiao Yixi and Gu Gongzi.

"Doesn't the third sister also have a copy?" Qiao Lixi asked rhetorically.

Qiao Jinwen smiled, "Yes, Gu Gongzi also gave me one, and after I asked people to count it, I chose a few precious ones and gave them to my grandmother." ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Jinwen straightened her waist.

Sure enough, Old Madam Qiao, who had been paying attention to this side, immediately said: "San'er is a filial person, Gu Gongzi's things were only delivered on the front foot, and she sent all the good things to the middle courtyard on the back foot, I asked her to keep some, and she was still anxious with me." ”

"Grandmother, you are Jinwen's elder, Jinwen should honor you, those things are just a waste here in Jinwen, and they are the best use when they are sent to grandmother."

"The third sister has a heart, and when she receives a gift from someone else, she doesn't forget to give her grandmother a copy and honor her grandmother. I just don't know how often Gu Gongzi sends things over, if my grandmother can't pick it up here, what will the third sister do? ”

"Bastard!" Old Madam Qiao couldn't suppress her temper more and more, especially when facing Qiao Yixi.

This dead girl has the ability to make her angry.

"You're embarrassed to arrange your third sister here, no matter who sent those things, your third sister thought of me as soon as possible and sent them to me immediately!"

What about you?

Nothing is indicated!

Qiao Lixi nodded thoughtfully, "Grandmother is right, the third sister is the most filial grandmother, as soon as there is something good in her hand, the first thing that comes to mind is her grandmother, compared to the third sister, Qiao Qiao's consciousness is still too poor." ”

So?

Old Madam Qiao waited for Qiao Yixi's words.

"Qiao Qiao also thought about picking a few things that her grandmother could use and send them to the middle courtyard, but those things, Qiao Qiao chose and chosen, and she really couldn't take them, but fortunately, the third sister has them, otherwise ......"

Otherwise what?

Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth with hatred.

Qiao Jinwen's face was also ugly.

Qiao Lixi thought that those things couldn't be handled, but she chose a few things that she thought were precious and sent them to the middle court, that is, her vision was lower than Qiao Lixi?

Hehe, how could it be.

Qiao Lixi is a dirt bun who has never seen the world.

In this way, there is only one explanation - that is, what Gu Sheng gave to Qiao Yixi can't be compared with what was given to her, so she is different in Gu Sheng's eyes.

Gu Sheng sent something to Qiao Lixi, but she was worried that if she only gave her something, it would not have a good impact on her, after all, nothing was explained between the two, considering her reputation, Gu Sheng chose some defective products and sent them to Qiao Lixi to hide people's eyes.

As for why not Joningdae?

Qiao Jinwen also thought of a reasonable explanation.

Among the several granddaughters of the Qiao family, Qiao Yixi is useless, and now there are no elders in the long house, so Gu Sheng can just send something perfunctory. If you choose Qiao Ningdai, you have to keep up with her in the grade of the gift, which is a complete waste.

After thinking about this, Qiao Jinwen's face looked a little better, but it was still very gloomy.

"Oily and smooth," Old Madam Qiao reprimanded, "you have a high eye, so naturally you can't look down on anything." I'm talking about the heart now, what does it mean to be courteous and affectionate? If you have the heart, anything will be delivered to me! Look at your third sister, it's the ones you don't like, your third sister has also carefully selected some of them and sent them to me, what about you! ”

"It turns out that my grandmother was angry because Qiao Qiao didn't send anything to the middle courtyard."

"I, I'm ......" Qiao Lixi's voice dragging the soft glutinous tail was still in her ears, but it was like a slap in the face, slapped on Old Madam Qiao's face.

"Qiao Qiao," Xue Tao, who had been watching, stopped Qiao Yixi, "You kid, why are you getting more and more uneducated, the fourth aunt has never taught you to be disrespectful!" ”

Therefore, it was taught by Gu Jingshu.

Qiao Lixi seemed to smile, "Yes, the fourth aunt has always raised Qiaoqiao as a daughter and taught Qiaoqiao a lot. ”

"Joe......"

"Grandmother," Qiao Yixi interrupted Xue Tao's words and looked at Old Madam Qiao, "Since grandmother doesn't care about the quality of things, but cares about the heart, then Qiao Qiao will go back and pick carefully, and send a copy to the middle courtyard." ”

Although the goal was achieved, Old Madam Qiao was not happy, and the feeling of being a dwarf was very unhappy.

In particular, when she saw the things that Qiao Yixi had sent her, her face suddenly darkened.

It's not that the things Qiao Lixi sent were bad, on the contrary, all the things she sent were some precious medicinal materials, which were excellent for medicinal food.

But the ginseng only has half a ginseng whisker, and it is still broken into several pieces.

Ginkgo seeds, covered with black mildew spots, look like they are rotting when they are damp.

As for the others, Old Madam Qiao was even more angry when she looked at it.

"Evil Barrier!" Old Madam Qiao stomped on her crutches, "What does she mean by this, slapping me in the face!" ”
